Abstract

The Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH) antenna in WEST has been modelled with the finite element method in 3D. A detailed geometry was used along with a hot plasma model in the plasma region. The convergence of the total absorbed power and the electron power partition was studied by varying different mesh parameters. To obtain a better resolved solution and a wave field without reflections, it is estimated that 1 TB of RAM is required. The coupled power spectrum was also studied using a two-dimensional Fourier decomposition of the electromagnetic fields.
